fuse confusion - is it safe to replace the face on a plug socket yourself?

Well,
(a) The thread is about re-wiring a socket, and you said "electrical fittings"; of course, if you weren't talking about the thread topic, then perhaps it's for another thread.
(b) You said "I use one - but them I am an electrician."; you may or may not use it always, or not, but I never said you did or didn't.
(c) It's irrelevant to this thread whether commercial/industrial makers define torques, as this thread is about a 13A home socket for a dishwasher.

As above, that's not an answer; the context of the thread is changing a home double socket for a dishwasher, not a commercial/industrial installation.

So would your skills and experience tell you how tight to do the screws in a 13A home socket using a plain screwdriver, or would you need to use a torque screwdriver?

I know; it can be a bit irksome when someone comes along and does the big "I am" and tries to demonstrate how clever they are by touting their "skills & experience" and introducing spurious and irrelevant points to try and prove how clever they are.

QED. Hoisted by your own petard :T
Did it take long to film that? Bet you had a few re-takes, y'know - to make sure it was just right...

I do not doubt you will post a reply - as it is in your very genes that you will have to have the last word. :j

Not my place (I'm bolshy, I know!) but I suggest that enough is enough.
